| Printer/Ink Compatibility |
Compatible all inkjet printers using eco solvent, solvent, latex and UV-curable ink. |
| Software Settings |
Printer settings will vary between printer manufacturers. To optimize print quality, 720 dpi will offer the best results. Recommended heater settings of 40-50° C, for both pre and post-heaters. These recommendations have been found to be a good place to start. |
| Color Matching |
For the best and most consistent results, a profile should be created using an external color calibrator in conjunction with your RIP and color matching software. The "PSA Vinyl" setting in most RIPs is appropriate when custom profiles are not possible. |
| Finishing/Post Processing |
Use a carbide knife for kiss and die cutting. For additional protection, liquid or spray coatings are recommended. |
| Light Fastness |
The fading time of inkjet ink is a direct result of the inks that you choose to use and the environment where the print is displayed. Contact the ink manufacturer for light-fastness data. |
| Surface Preparation |
The non-porous flat surface should be cleaned and free of dust and debris. |
| Optimal Print Environment |
59-77° F, 20-80% R.H |
| Service Temp. Range |
For end use: 0- 176° F |
| Handling Recommendations |
Due to the absorptive nature of the coating, you should avoid touching the coated surface of the film. To install the graphic, peel 4 inches of the liner off the graphic and place on wall. Continue to peel back 4 inches of the liner incrementally while mounting. |
